This is Dropdown.cs now:

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using TMPro;

public class Dropdown : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] TMP_Dropdown dropDownObject;
    TMP_Text dropDownValue;
    
    void OnValueChanged()
    {
        dropDownValue = dropDownObject.captionText;
    }
}

And this is the screenshot of the Inspector window when the TMP_Dropdown object is selected.

AHHHHH

PUBLIC

[polar acorn]

Don't drag in a script file, drag in an object with the script on it

[modest barn]

Is that it?

[rich adder]

that too

[polar acorn]

and what's the point of this object, you're just storing one string in a different string

[modest barn]

I'll be doing a lot more, I just created the script but this isn't working so I'm going to fix it first

[rich adder]

also this returns you an int

[modest barn]

So the new object will be a component?

[rich adder]

probably wanna do something with the index of item

[modest barn]

I'm... not returning anything?

[rich adder]

your method has no parmaters for the returned value

[polar acorn]

The OnValueChange does, which it passes to the function you subscribe with

[rich adder]

if you made it take int then it becomes a dynamic method

[modest barn]

Is that int the index of the option selected?

[rich adder]

yup

[modest barn]

I'm trying to do that but I think I'm doing something wrong. Where should I be dragging that object with the script on it?

[modest barn]

Great, thanks. I'll go predefine the options to make that work.

[rich adder]

think of the script on a gameObject as the actual Instance of the script

[modest barn]

That makes sense, because when an object has a script, it is automatically instantiated when the scene starts, right? I think I remember that from somewhere

[rich adder]

yeah if gameobject is enabled

[modest barn]

Awesome

[rich adder]

Awake is sort of works like the constructor

[rich adder]

did you save any script changes in playmode?

cause it usually spams that

[modest barn]

Never mind

Yep that's exactly what I did

Thanks all! Got it working. What would I do without this server 😆

[vital spade]

Hey there, I've created a heart system through a tutorial and am running into a weird object reference not set to an instance of an object issue even though all references are set correctly, I'll turn this into a thread and post some screenshots and code maybe someone can see whatever it is I'm missing.

[amber spruce]

not sure if i ask this here or in networking but i have my game multiplayer now but im not sure how to change the scene for everyone

[rich adder]

#archived-networking has NGO server pinned

all multiplayer questions go there

[amber spruce]

ah ok thanks

[red wind]

Can someone tell what I need to change?

[queen adder]

Displaying items from a list keeps showing the "item was out of range" error
Hello. I am trying to display a specific item from a list but it keeps saying this error. Heres my code:

can i get some help?

[polar acorn]

Then arrayOrder-1 is either negative or greater than the size of the answers collection

[abstract finch]

How would you create this arc using animation curve? Would you apply a force an add it to its current position or would you get the target position then lerp it to the destination? I simply want it to curve in a direction then go downwards until it reaches the ground

[queen adder]

it doesnt work even if i say answers[0], answers[1], answers[2], answers[3]. also the list has 4 elements

[polar acorn]

If it's the same error with those numbers, then it seems answers is empty

Log the size of answers and the value of arrayOrder

[queen adder]

it isnt

[polar acorn]

This shows me that there exists at least one answers list with four things in it

[queen adder]

and the log says that also

[polar acorn]

This does not show that you are checking this list

Log the length of the answers and the value of arrayOrder the line before the error occurs and show me your console

[polar acorn]

And what is this logging

[queen adder]

arrayOrder = answers.Count()

[polar acorn]

Is this log in the function that has the error

or is this the same one in Start that doesn't help

[queen adder]

the same

imma log it in the function

one sec

[polar acorn]

Log arrayOrder and the length of the list

Two different numbers. Give them some sort of identifier so you can see which is which

[meager gust]

write your code in english. it's the universal language

[queen adder]

heres arrayOrder for the first and second answer

@polar acorn

[polar acorn]

Okay, and where is the error? What's the last pair of logs look like before the error?

[polar acorn]

Can you show the updated code with the logs in it?

[polar acorn]

Those are two different Question objects

The first one is logging the length of questionItem. The second is question

For that matter, why are your variables of type GameObject when all you do is get components from them, those should be of type Question to begin with

[queen adder]

okay

[north kiln]

Also, if answers is an array, use .Length, if it's a list, use .Count, you should only use .Count() if the others are not present

[amber spruce]

any ideas why my variables and stuff are public but dont show up in the inspector

    public NetworkManager NetworkManager;

[polar acorn]

Do you have any compile errors

[amber spruce]

nope

[polar acorn]

Is NetworkManager a serializable type?

[amber spruce]

i believe so

[boreal oxide]

Is it because the names are the exact same?

[amber spruce]

i have this in there aswell

public float heartbeatTimer;

thats whats confusing i have a lot of variables in there that are public

[rich adder]

why do you need a field for network manager?

[amber spruce]

so it can access stuff from it

[rich adder]

it already has a singleton to you can access no ?

[amber spruce]

idk

idk what i did but now i see the variabels

[rich adder]

is this a Unity Component ?

[amber spruce]

the network manager is from the netcode for game objects

[rich adder]

https://docs-multiplayer.unity3d.com/netcode/current/components/networkmanager/

you probably should get familiar with docs, we mentioned many times

you juse use the .Singleton

you don't have to make a field for it

[amber spruce]

ok thanks

[summer stump]

No, the compiler is "smart" enough to know the difference. But I don't like that haha

[solemn fractal]

Now its working like that, thank you for the help !!https://paste.ofcode.org/EJRfZNUy7XjUs2nHLbBZpi

[unreal imp]

Guys, here again I am trying to make the player able to load, drop and throw objects (objects up to a certain mass or weight) but it doesn't work for me, here is the code https://gdl.space/xupobugagu.cs

don't laugh at this, it's just beginning 🙂

[quick ruin]

this should add the left to the right and its not

[wintry quarry]

It adds the right to the left

the LEFT side of = will change

the right side is just an expression to assign to the left.

[quick ruin]

ok ty

[wintry quarry]

x += y; is the same as x = x + y;

x is the thing that changes

[rich adder]

what isn't working ? what did you try debugging

[quartz anvil]

Anyone know how to pass on object already in the scene to a field in a prefab that isn't already in the scene? im trying to drag and drop a UI element onto my prefab that should spawn when a key is pressed and a menu should pop up. just can't seem to get the reference to that menu to make it pop up.

[rich adder]

[quartz anvil]

@rich adder Ty ❤️

[fossil drum]

        float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
        float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
        direction = new Vector3(moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);
        direction = transform.TransformDirection(direction);
        Debug.Log($"H:{moveHorizontal} V:{moveVertical} Dir:{direction}");

Add this debug.log to your code and show what it logs in your console

[tiny vault]

where do i need to paste it?

oh wait

found it

[fossil drum]

You have written this right? Or is this chatGPT code I'm fixing now?

[tiny vault]

no its not a chatgpt code

this is what it says

[fossil drum]

So you have a little bit of input, do you perhaps have an Xbox controller or steering wheel attached?

[tiny vault]

no i dont

by the way if i turn on the "is kinematic" option on rigidbody component it doesnt do that

[fossil drum]

Of course, because Kinematic removes all physics, and you move with physics.

[tiny vault]

oh okay then it has to be off

[fossil drum]

Yeah for sure.

Anyhow, you have an analog input signal somewhere coming in from some device.

[tiny vault]

is there any way to solve it

when the character hits a wall it bounces and keeps moving by itself

[fossil drum]

That seems like a completely different issue, anyhow, the fact that you are moving is because you have input. You can just force the values to 0 and see if that's the cause. Then figure out where it's coming from.

[tiny vault]

the jump force and movement speed values right?

i set them to 0 but it stills does the same thing

[fossil drum]

Remove your whole MovePosition then, if that's not fixing it its something else, but then I don't know what you did. Good luck anyhow, gotta go.

[tiny vault]

do i like need to do anything on input manager

u think?

[amber spruce]

how do i get the active scene

[wintry quarry]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager.GetActiveScene.html

[amber spruce]

thanks

[pearl flower]

I have a problem that if I press on different elements of UI, for example, button and also use touch then in some cases touch field is interrupted by other element of UI. Like pointerId it starts associates with different UI element, but we still use it.

How can I fix it, explanation of problem is above.

[unreal imp]

now i updated to this but its https://gdl.space/numoqefaci.cs but its like:

[languid spire]

if you expect help you might like to learn how to post !code

[rich adder]

what have you tried to debug this ?

[unreal imp]

I made 4: one to detect when the player has an object in front of him and that has a mass of 15kg or less (to prevent him from lifting objects heavier than him), another debug to detect when he is carrying an object, another to when he releases it and the last one is to throw it

[rich adder]

yes logs are a start but not all of debugging

also your logs are kinda useless atm

[flat eagle]

in the update function only and set the script to the object you want to move

[rich adder]

you need to debug specific information / values @unreal imp

that makes it more useufl

[unreal imp]

ahhh like renaming the debug

[rich adder]

not renaming.. like for example look at your log
Debug.Log("RaycastWorking");

[tiny vault]

i solved it thx

[rich adder]

it would make more sense to make it Debug.Log($"Raycast has hit {hit.collider.name}");

for example or
Debug.Log( $"Do we have g? {g.transform.parent} and are carrying ? {isCarryingOBJ}")

[flat eagle]

why the script get Dropdown, still have Monobehaviour

[flat eagle]

Good, are you making a TPS game

[tiny vault]

nah im doing a simple parkour game

[flat eagle]

i think that spwan and delete objects very important for a parkour game

are very important

[unreal imp]

here is how it works now

[rich adder]

alright now its more useful debug , don't you think?

player hit itself, and carries itself

script is working, just not the way you intended

[unreal imp]

;/

[rich adder]

use layermask and exclude player from raycast

[unreal imp]

oh thanks

[obtuse oar]

            velocity = curr.velocity;
            curr.MovePosition(Vector2.SmoothDamp(curr.position, mousePoint, ref velocity, 0.025f));

why is the argument curr.velocity invalid requiring the use of velocity, they're both vector2s. I'm just not understanding the error and would like to remove the seemingly unnecessary line

[fathom timber]

you can't ref a property, like the error says

[obtuse oar]

yeah i'm confused on what that means specifically

[fathom timber]

you can just put the property into another variable and ref that, then set the property

so like
var velocity = curr.velocity
Function (ref velocity)
curr.velocity = velocity

[obtuse oar]

yeah that's what i'm doing already in the code posted

i was just curious as to the reasoning why that is needed

[rich adder]

same reason you cant directly manipulate x on transform, you need to make copy/make vector3 and pass it back to .position

[fathom timber]

oh, that's how properties work in C#, you should look up properties for more information on that

[obtuse oar]

hm okay

so the line is required then i suppose

[fathom timber]

yeah

[obtuse oar]

tsk tsk, stupid extra loc

[swift crag]

Many things that look like fields on Unity objects are actually properties

[fathom timber]

I was actually curious why C# doesn't do this for you automatically, found this thread that explains that. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/529782/c-sharp-property-and-ref-parameter-why-no-sugar

[short hazel]

It's more because a property is a pair of functions that access a value, and not the value itself

Can't ref a method, so this error is reported

[fathom timber]

^ yeah this

[obtuse oar]

is there a different method that returns the velocity in a form that can be referenced? pointless questions at this point but i'm just curious now

or is it that the ref means it needs a value specifically and not the return of a method

[median elk]

Im getting two Null reference exception on GUI Box

here is the part of the problem , line 146 and 259

[short hazel]

Yeah it needs a value, and nope you'll only get properties exposed outside a class normally. Convention recommend fields to stay private

[median elk]

what could i do to get rid of it?

[fathom timber]

is GUI.ski.FindStyle null? Can you isolate that?

[short hazel]

Most likely that's the case. Rect being a struct it cannot be null, and apart from that, .skin is the only thing that is being accessed here

The non-monospace font is really cursed

[dusk hornet]

i need help if i chose proccess events in dynamic update when i press e in game it dosent work alawys and the camera works fine when i choose on process events in fixed update the input works fine and the camera moves fast

[fathom timber]

yeah just looked it up, says it will not give an error unless you check it. Well it's most likely that, "WindowBackground" probably doesn't exist https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/GUISkin.FindStyle.html @short hazel

[dusk hornet]

this is the code

[dusk hornet]

this is the problem

[short hazel]

In that case, an ArgumentNullException should have been thrown... can't rely on that since argument validation is pretty poor in those methods lol

[slender nymph]

wasPressedThisFrame will only be true the first frame the key is pressed. and since OnTriggerStay only happens on physics update frames it may not have been pressed that frame, it likely was pressed on a frame between FixedUpdates.

a better way of handling interactions would instead be to use physics queries like raycasts instead of relying on OnTriggerStay to determine if the player is in range of an interactable object

[dusk hornet]

i m not really good at coding idk if i can do the raycasts one

[slender nymph]

better get to learning

[rich adder]

if ur gonna poll inputs then make a bool in update

[dusk hornet]

is there a way to fix the camera moving fast when i chose on process events in fixed update

or that dosent work like that

[slender nymph]

1. use cinemachine
2. you'd have to show the relevant code for that if you want help with it

[dusk hornet]

code of what

[slender nymph]

the camera . . .

[pearl flower]

I cannot send full code, due to limitation of characters.

[slender nymph]

skipped right over the bot's message about sharing code?

[rich adder]

bool eKeyPressed => Keyboard.current.eKey.wasPressedThisFrame;``` 😏

psudo :

bool isInTrigger ;
OnTriggerEnter ()   isInTrigger = true;
OnTriggerExit()    isInTrigger = false;
Update () if(isInTrigger && eKeypressed )// Do Stuff```

[rich adder]

not what I wrote lol

[dusk hornet]

im using the unity starter asset

[rich adder]

anyway, look at the bool trigger example. You can still use Keyboard.current.eKey.wasPressedThisFrame; is just long to write for no good reason..

[dusk hornet]

oh i see

I have a problem that if I press on different elements of UI, for example, button and also use touch then in some cases touch field is interrupted by other element of UI. Like pointerId it starts associates with different UI element, but we still use it. And camera starts sliding.

[quick ruin]

How do I set Time.time.ToString() to use 1.00 minute second format

[fathom timber]

.ToString("D2") (if I recall correctly)

[short hazel]

(you'll have to divide the value by 60 to convert to minutes)

Ah that'll be F2 for the format string, D is for integers (it pads the numbers with zeroes: eg. D4 => 0042)

[weary moss]

this code is supposed to detect the screen's dimensions and readjust the object it's attached to the size of the screen. but, let's say the base size of the object is 800x480, it doesn't matter the size of the screen, the x scale will always be slightly off.

void Start()
{
    transform.position = new Vector3(camera.transform.position.x, camera.transform.position.y, transform.position.z);
    Vector3 InfEsq = camera.ViewportToScreenPoint(Vector3.zero);
    Vector3 SupDir = camera.ViewportToScreenPoint(new Vector3(camera.rect.width, camera.rect.height));
    Vector3 TamanhoTela = SupDir - InfEsq;
    float EscalaTela = TamanhoTela.x / TamanhoTela.y;
    float EscalaLocal = transform.localScale.x / transform.localScale.y;

    if (EscalaTela > EscalaLocal)
    {
        float altura = TamanhoTela.y;
        transform.localScale = new Vector3(altura * EscalaLocal, altura);
    }
    else
    {
        float largura = TamanhoTela.x;
        transform.localScale = new Vector3(largura, largura / EscalaLocal);
    }
}

What am i doing wrong

[median elk]

what would be the alternative then?

[fathom timber]

Are you trying to get one of Unity's GUI styles or did you make your own? What's the intention behind calling FindStyle?

[median elk]

im using a custom one

[fathom timber]

is it a custom GUISkin asset?

[median elk]

i get these two null refs when importing this

https://github.com/AsehesL/WaterByBakeDepth/tree/master

[median elk]

yes, known as subwindow

[median elk]

• some parameters arent showing up

[fathom timber]

Well unfortunately I can only read English so I can't understand this. But to fix that error I think you can just remove that FindStyle line and it will probably be fine? Might look a bit weird.

but it will at least compile

[median elk]

just to comment ?

[fathom timber]

Nah just delete this part, it's an optional parameter

[slender nymph]

make sure that your !IDE is configured so that it will highlight basic syntax errors like that

[eternal falcon]

💡 IDE Configuration

If your IDE is not autocompleting code
or underlining errors, please configure it.

Select one:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)
• VS Code

[median elk]

still i get those two nulls

is it something wrong with line 127 and 237 too? on the null reference stack , something is also mentioned about these 2 lines

[rare basin]

It's call trace

[swift crag]

when you get an exception, a stack trace is printed. each line in the stack trace is a method

the top of the stack trace is where the error occurred. the line below it is its caller

(this goes all the way down the stack)

[median elk]

I see, but it's odd how these 2 nulls keep coming even after I have commented the whole line

[atomic idol]

hey guys im trying to make a game with sprinting but the friction of the floor makes me have to use high numbers exceeding the max speed i want for movement making sprinting useless, and also impossible to walk slowly i want it so

1:i can walk normally and the speed will be below the max speed of 50 (hopefully around 3

2: i want sprinting to make you reach 10 speed

3: the friction of the ground to not be slippery but still allow movement

(i got all of the code except the sprinting from the youtuber dani all i added was sprinting and a few adjustments)

oh sorry

[queen adder]

i want to make a game but i have no clue where to start

[zealous atlas]

If the functionality happens later and not straight away from the start I would use a if null statement so it doesn't break the game. If it's a null reference missing just plug the reference straight into the script if u need it from the start.

[amber spruce]

how do i reference a object that gets spawned in so its a prefab and gets instantiated in but i wanna reference it in another script

[zealous atlas]

Go to YouTube and do some video research. Brackeys tutorials are great for beginners

[queen adder]

dident he stop making videos?

[zealous atlas]

Yeah but u don't need up to date tutorials to understand how to make a basic functional game

[atomic idol]

should i just post the link to it?

[queen adder]

ok thank you

i added you batty

[zealous atlas]

Use a get tag search or get layer mask search. Finding something of a name of a prefab can be quite taxing so wouldn't use that however if u instantiate under a empty game object parent than you can say any game object child under that parent would work easier and less taxing too because ur not asking it to search anything in ur scene.

[swift crag]

What do you want your game to do?

explain the gameplay, not how you're trying to implement it

[queen adder]

is it a good idea to follow a video on how to make flappy bird to learn?

[amber spruce]

so basically i have enemies that stay even after a new scene is loaded and when that new scene loads i want smth to happen to them

[teal viper]

Yes.

[queen adder]

bro hello world in c# is So much harder then python lol

[swift crag]

you use DontDestroyOnLoad to prevent these enemies from being destroyed?

[eternal needle]

neither of these should be the first answer, instantiate returns the object that is spawned so the reference already exists.

[amber spruce]

yep

[swift crag]

You should keep a list of all of the enemies somewhere.

You could put this on the component that spawns them, for example

[eternal needle]

i suggest learning c# then unity, learning how to use unity's api while you are struggling with hello world is going to be a nightmare. You'll do both slower compared to doing 1 at a time

[queen adder]

im not struggling with it i was just saying its so much harder for new people lol

[eternal needle]

You are new people

[atomic idol]

thank you sir

[queen adder]

yea but im not having problems with it i understand coding lol

[amber spruce]

void Start()
{
    GameObject[] enemies = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("enemy");

    foreach (GameObject obj in enemies)
    {
        gameObject.SetActive(true);
    }
}

that should work right (it should be setting all the enemies to active)

[zealous atlas]

I didn't know the situation of him not having to spawn in a new game object as he said above that he was spawning in a new prefab that has no reference in the scene.

Now he has clarified my advice wouldn't work.

[pearl flower]

What about FindObjectsOfType<EntityController>();?

[amber spruce]

what would i put for the EntityController

[eternal needle]

then you should have a good understanding on how to answer your first question. You dont need to overstate your skills, you are asking in the beginner channel for a reason. These arent insults by saying you are a beginner. Your initial messages and claiming you understand coding are very contradictory.
My suggestion still stands, do basic c# then unity. Yes you can follow a video (flappy bird or not) to learn, whether its a good idea or not depends how much you truly understand coding. For ex: if you have a degree in computer science, then I wouldnt suggest following such a beginner tutorial

[pearl flower]

Your script.

For example.

Does enemy have scripts?

[amber spruce]

yeah

[pearl flower]

So, specify your script.

That's it.

[timber tide]

Searching the scene is always bad, but it's not likely yall making projects with 10000+ trees in it

but still, large linear search

yikes

[pearl flower]

Well, it's only in start, so it's not bad.

[amber spruce]

well my game is a 2d game so not that much stuff

[eternal needle]

you dont need to FindGameObjectsWithTag at all. these enemies either exist in your scene at edit time so you can drag them in inspector, or you instantiate them during playmode. instantiate returns the spawned object, so you can now add it to the list

[pearl flower]

In many cases this not affects so much if you do it once, in one place.

[eternal needle]

and plus right now your list is local, so this will exist only during start and will be gone afterwards. What Fen was suggesting i believe is have them global in one script, possibly in the script that spawns enemies. Then that spawner script can add to the array/list since its right there.
Anything that needs all the enemies can ask the spawner for it

[austere monolith]

i was making a pickup and drop system but when i put the game on, the gun just goes in a random place, locks in, and rotates with the camera, i drop it and pick it back up, then it starts raising while im spinning around in the camera is there something i can show for help?

[ruby ember]

hi everyone so i want to add 2 things

1. Music Toggle turn on music and turn off music

2. Quality DropDown

and i need help or send code

the quality one it only has 3
Low Medium and High

[amber spruce]

weird it doesnt seem to get it

[eternal needle]

i think this is what you want for the quality..
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/QualitySettings.SetQualityLevel.html
as for the music, I would just use audio mixer and set the volume to 0 (or disabled if that is a thing). Otherwise you will want to play all your music through 1 central script with a check if the music is toggled.

[ruby ember]

i want to be like uncheck the music stops and when i check it the music plays

[eternal needle]

Setting the volume to 0 should be easiest then

[amber spruce]

OnSpawn.Player is set to it

[eternal needle]

I dont know how this is related to the enemy stuff you posted above. This very cropped screenshot also really isnt gonna help me help you. All i can is that line never runs, or .Player is null

[ruby ember]

ok code worked but i want it on DropDown

[slender nymph]

you're not meant to just copy/paste the example code. it shows you an example of how to use it

take that information and add the options to your dropdown menu instead of imgui buttons

[ruby ember]

i kinda don't know coding

[slender nymph]

there are beginner courses pinned in this channel

[eternal needle]

honestly didnt even look at the code that was on the doc, i was just sending the method name 😅

[amber spruce]

how do i disable a rigidbody

[slender nymph]

you don't. you can remove the component or make it kinematic though

or you could just set the gameobject inactive, but that affects more than just the rigidbody of course

[amber spruce]

so how would i just have it not able to move

[slender nymph]

make it kinematic and just don't move it

[amber spruce]

can you do that in code

[ruby ember]

i feel that i did it really bad

[summer stump]

.isKinematic = true

[amber spruce]

and that will make stuff like gravity not affect it

[summer stump]

Kinematic means it won't respond to forces
(Of course including gravity)

[slender nymph]

all you did was change the name of the method . . .

[eternal needle]

the only part of the code you need is QualitySettings.SetQualityLevel. The rest of it is to make a GUI layout which you do not need to do through code. Use your own buttons and give them a listener through code for the quality level

[ruby ember]

QualitySettings.SetQualityLevel it has that already

[amber spruce]

    void Start()
    {
        rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>();
        sr = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();
        rb.isKinematic = true;
        sr.enabled = false;
        DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
    }

Ok, so I think you should either start from a simpler controller that you can understand and add your desired functionality, or spend time learning how the controller that you have works and interacts with physics.

Also, I don't see any code related to sprinting in the code that you shared, so it's hard to say what exactly the issue is.

mb bruh i never used that before

[rich adder]

don't see anything in this code that deals with looking

[austere monolith]

then ill show my screen in unity

[summer stump]

Just show the code that deals with looking. This is a pickup and drop class

[rich adder]

you're having issue with looking why would you send this script

[summer stump]

Maybe it's the ShootingScript3D?

[austere monolith]

thats the gun script

[rich adder]

is prob on the root player or cam

[summer stump]

Can't really know from just what you've shown 🤷‍♂️
All I knos is that it's definitely not the code you showed before

[rich adder]

how you not know your own project lol

beyond me.

[atomic idol]

alright ill try to look more into the controller

[rich adder]

if you follow a video don't blindly copy it @austere monolith

also send link to that

[austere monolith]

link to what

the video?

[tulip stag]

Just a question out of curiosity, not off any project I'm working on rn— can a class initialize a version of itself as a variable?
Let's say, a game where combat is handled in the Fighter script and every player or enemy that can fight has its Fighter component, could you write something like

  {
    [SerializeField] Fighter target;

    private void Update()
    {
        Attack(target);
    }
  ...```

[rich adder]

you said you did exactly like the video and its not working the same

[austere monolith]

here

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8kKLUsn7tcg

its literally just that one small bug

[rich adder]

so its a drop system?

you didnt explain your problem properly

[austere monolith]

its a pick up and drop system, i followed the tutorial and put the stuff he wrote, on the script. when i start in the game, i have the equipped on by default. i obviously put together the transforms etc. every time i start the game, the gun starts higher than supposed to and rotates weirdly with my camera, when i drop it then pick it up, its in my hand, but it still rotates with my camera weirdly.

[amber spruce]

how would i reference a variable from one script to another

[rich adder]

you probably have weird scales

or didn't setup something with parenting properly

[rich adder]

https://unity.huh.how/programming/references

[amber spruce]

is it possible to get the component if you dont know the object that its attched to

because my player is spawned in from a prefab

[austere monolith]

oh shoot, if my player runs on charactercontroller to move, and i need a rigidbody on my player for the pickupcontroller to work, could i still restrain the rotation of xyz, and would it be the same? my camera look is in the main camera so i could still look around

[rich adder]

that doesn't make sense

[amber spruce]

thats my player

[rich adder]

You typically make a singleton

like it says in link i've sent

[austere monolith]

wait i actually need to know answer my question rq

[amber spruce]

well there is 2 players i need to do it to both

[dense root]

How do I reverse my ball's direction? Currently it moves left to right as intended but for fun I want to move it up and down.

private void Launch()
{
    float x = Random.Range(0, 2) == 0 ? -1 : 1;
    float y = Random.Range(0, 2) == 0 ? -1 : 1;
    rb.velocity = new Vector2(speed * x, speed * y);
}

Akin to going from PONG to breakout

[rich adder]

that wouldn't be reversing direction

[dense root]

I'm listening :)

[rich adder]

technically reverse of left is right and vice versa no?

[dense root]

Yes

[rich adder]

so you want to go from horizontal to vert?

[dense root]

Yes

Here is what is happening upon start:

void Start()
{
    startPosition = transform.position;
    Launch();
}

In fact, I'm confused how it gets to launch only left or right in the first place

[rich adder]

the initial direction no?

[dense root]

Yes

[rich adder]

i mean you're pretty much moving in all directions lol

rb.velocity = new Vector2(speed * x, speed * y);

[dense root]

lol

So how do I go from there to a breakout style movement where it launches towards the player?

[rich adder]

probably less x amounts and more y amounts

i bet if already did rb.velocity = new Vector2(speed / 2) * x, speed * y);
or something it be more "breakout"

[dense root]

Nah that just halved the movement speed of the X

And interestingly locked the Y movement so it is now just moving side to side

[rich adder]

huh thats why

oh wait no

[rich adder]

low x and high y should give up/down if you put correct numbers

[ruby ember]

quality settings is finished but now how can i make the music toggle
i want it when is unchecked the music stops and when is checked the music goes back to the start

[dense root]

@rich adder You're right, I had the Y position frozen

Apologies

[rich adder]

use the event on the checkmark and connect it to a method to toggle

[SerializeField] Toggle toggle;
private void OnEnable() => toggle.onValueChanged.AddListener(ToggleChanged);
private void ToggleChanged(bool toggled)
{
    if(toggled)
    {
        //play 
    }
    else
    {
        //stop
    }
}```

[ruby ember]

hi mate here's an example (this is another port from another person)

[rich adder]

so you got it working ?

[ruby ember]

no

i said this is another port from another person

[rich adder]

oh

[ruby ember]

this is not mine

even i want it like this

[rich adder]

well i told u how to do it already pretty much

[ruby ember]

is this one?

[rich adder]

ya

[ruby ember]

btw is this right?

[rich adder]

looks fine

why wouldn't they be

[ruby ember]

if im missing another using Unity something

but ok

[rich adder]

wdym

are you getting an error?

[ruby ember]

no

everything good

where should i add it?

music object (the music)
or in the toggle?

[rich adder]

ideally a script that manages sound

[ruby ember]

is this right (to put it in toggle value)

[rich adder]

where is second screenshot from

[ruby ember]

the second one is the toggle value

[rich adder]

oh toggle already has event handler

[ruby ember]

so where should i put the script?

[rich adder]

anyway dont use that

there is no way to determine if true or false in that event

it just fires a method when event is changed

putting add listener is the same thing in code

[rich adder]

put it in music toggle?

if thats its job

reference the audio player

[ruby ember]

like this?

if im not

[rich adder]

no

u dont need the inspector

for event

just make a reference to audio source

 [SerializeField] AudioSource musicPlayer;
 private void ToggleChanged(bool toggled)
 {
     if(toggled)
     {
         //play 
         musicPlayer.Play();
     }
     else
     {
         //stop
         musicPlayer.Stop();
     }
 }```

[ruby ember]

i need to change the code? or make another one?

[rich adder]

why would you make another one

you already have music toggle

[ruby ember]

i mean the script

[rich adder]

its literally that script

thats its job

toggle music

[ruby ember]

so i need to change the script?

[rich adder]

yes you have to change it to do what u expect it to do

code doesn't change itself 😛

[ruby ember]

ok now is changed

[ruby ember]

sorry for saying this but what does it mean like drag it to the audio source (music not toggle)

[rich adder]

I literally shown you the example

[ruby ember]

where

[ruby ember]

oh

ok

where where i put the script?

[ruby ember]

i added this code

[rich adder]

are we going in circles here, you have to at least try to understand what the code does

its not that many lines

it should be clear as day whats going on

[ruby ember]

sorry

[ruby ember]

i meant where should i drag it

[rich adder]

where did u put toggle music https://discordapp.com/channels/489222168727519232/497874004401586176/1179257333264687144

[ruby ember]

oh

let me check

wait

it didn't work

[rich adder]

what is it?

and what did you do

[ruby ember]

im sending video

but is loading

[rich adder]

show the code u did

[rich adder]

why is there is serializable on a MB..

so how are you calling ToggleChanged ?

[ruby ember]

i need to change the name or the other serializefield or both?

[rich adder]

how did you get that out of what i asked

[summer stump]

You need to call the method
ToggleChanged(true);

But it's private

[rich adder]

right now its private and you got rid of the Listener

so how are you calling it

[ruby ember]

ok i changed it to public

[summer stump]

In short, neither of those are relevant at all

[summer stump]

That alone won't do anything

[ruby ember]

btw heres the proof

[rich adder]

this video is not relevant rn

[ruby ember]

it took so long of uploading this

sorry

[rich adder]

alr so how do you plan on now receiving the bool if its toggled or not ?

[rich adder]

https://discordapp.com/channels/489222168727519232/497874004401586176/1179263166945955862

look careful at the initial messages we spoke about

and the code i first sent

its still relevant

[ruby ember]

hmm i see

[ruby ember]

so what should i change when is private and serializefield is not going to be added

on the top

sorry for telling that

[rich adder]

when I shown you private it was linked to event still

[ruby ember]

MusicToggle

[summer stump]

Not WHAT are you calling it, but HOW

What is causing the code to run?

Code doesn't just go (unless it's in a Unity method like Start, Update etc, but that takes another explanation that you can read about)

For you own functions, you need to call it somehow

It sounds like you were using a Unity Event before?

[ruby ember]

i don't remember

[rich adder]

how u not remember its right here

[ruby ember]

i need to add that too?

[rich adder]

either that or call the ToggleChanged with the event thru inspector..

[summer stump]

Ah. Yeah, that code is very necessary
OnEnable is one of those Unity methods I mentioned that will be called (somewhat) automatically

Yes, or through the inspector

[rich adder]

the toggle gives you a bool because thats the two states its in. You need that information from the toggle somehow, do you see that?

[ruby ember]

here's the bool

[rich adder]

ok

now you made it private again

[ruby ember]

yes

[rich adder]

ok so you need the bool

from the Toggle component

not code question #💻┃unity-talk

[ruby ember]

this is coding channel

[empty obsidian]

okay sorry where should i ask about that?

[ruby ember]

unity talk

[empty obsidian]

okay thx

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.1/Documentation/ScriptReference/UI.Toggle-onValueChanged.html

dont copy the code

just read it a few times

so it sink in

[ruby ember]

so i read it some times and i need to add like Toggle.isOn

[rich adder]

no

you have to just understand what the hell onValueChanged is for

yu should seriously consider going through some unity / c# courses tbh you won't get very far this way

[bright nexus]

Hello I am currently working on a jump behaviour. I have a raycast that checks if the player is grounded. If the player is not grounded I add velocity to the player otherwise it is set to 0. I am constantly moving the player's y position by its current position-the current velocity. This all works as intended except when I start the game the player moves down at an incredible rate for the first few frames. It seems that the velocity is incredibly high when I start the game for some reason. I am doing all my checks in the update function. Does anyone know why the player moves down much faster than it should when I start the game? If you need more information/code please ask.

[bright nexus]

Sorry for the messy code I am just testing a few things out right now.

[rich adder]

what is gravity amount and gravityMultiplier

wait i dont even see velocity being used anywhere

[bright nexus]

transform.position = new Vector2(transform.position.x, transform.position.y - VELOCITY * Time.deltaTime);

[rich adder]

ohh you have it twice

[bright nexus]

The gravity amount is the gravity itself I add the the velocity (so it accelerates) and the multiplayer is supposed to be an easier way to adjust the gravity. (This was from a tutorial)

[bright nexus]

Oh I will fix that

[bright nexus]

transform.position = new Vector2(transform.position.x + Xdirection * speed * Time.deltaTime, transform.position.y - VELOCITY * Time.deltaTime); Just pretend it is updated to this

[rich adder]

well lets player is at y of 10 and velocity is somehow 30

10-30 = -20 and w.e delta time is

now next frame

-20 - 30 = -50

so its probably going down really fast

[bright nexus]

But the velocity should be set to 0 once the player reaches the ground, therefore shouldn't it stop moving?

[rich adder]

you said you fall faster in the air not grounded or did I misread original Q

oh you're saying player is falling at start when they're grounded or they start not grounded ?

[bright nexus]

The player starts above the ground. In the very first few frames the player falls super fast but then everything works as normal.

[rich adder]

are you certain you're grounded

[bright nexus]

I am pretty certain the grounded code works, I did a debug.log when grounded was true and results came out as expected.

[bright nexus]

The player starts not grounded if that is what you were asking.

[rich adder]

oh ok and whats initial vel?

f(!isGrounded())
        {
            VELOCITY += gravity * gravitymultipleyer * Time.deltaTime;
          Debug.Log(VELOCITY);
        }```

[bright nexus]

VELOCITY += gravity * gravitymultipleyer * Time.deltaTime; The gravity is 9.8 and the multiplier is 4 so would it be 39.2 and then accelerate from there?

[bright nexus]

Oh

[rich adder]

yeah you need a max y vel prob

unless you want vel to indefinitely increase

[bright nexus]

It starts at 0.784 accoring to the console

[bright nexus]

Oh ok

[rich adder]

thats not much but depends how much does it get before player IsGrounded

[bright nexus]

Around 26

[rich adder]

so its def speeding up

by a lot

I would also use a rigidbody instead of transforms

[bright nexus]

So, if I am understanding this correctly, the velocity speeds up to 26. If I am subtracting the velocity from the players current position every frame, subtracting by 26 will make it go through the floor since the floor doesn't go down to 26?

[rich adder]

it goes up to 26 every frame unless its printing 26 a lot of times before going to 0

[bright nexus]

Yeah it only hits 26 once, I assume it will never stop growing if it kept falling

[rich adder]

Time.deltaTime is probably keeping it from completely zooming into oblivion but if you dropped high enough you can pickup enough vel

[bright nexus]

Alright, I have had issues with rigidbodies, and built in physics in the past, so that was the main reason I wanted to try a different approach. I guess I just ended up making a worse version of rigidbody. 😅 Would you advise using built in colliders and rigidbodies in the long run, I have heard some bad things about tilemaps but I am really not sure about the best way of adding physics.

[rich adder]

yeah basically and collisions wont be as accurate without rb movement since they are part of physics. Unless you did custom raycasts for all that (too much work)
using forces on rigidbody is more diffuclt but .velocity can feel pretty responsive or addforce without the mass maybe

[bright nexus]

If I were to do this, would I just set the velocity to its max velocity when it goes over the max velocity.

[rich adder]

yeah basically just clamping

[bright nexus]

Got it, I have noticed that even when using rigidbody there are moments when my player can get stuck in walls or floors. Is there any efficient/worthwhile way to counteract this?

[rich adder]

for tilemap put a composite collider and on player you can make it no friction physics material

and i usually lock all the constraints of the rb if im controlling it

depends if you want the built in gravity or not

[bright nexus]

Got it. Thank you for the time and help! I will probably continue with this method to experiment and see how things work out 😄

[rich adder]

goodluk 🙂

[dense root]

So I've been tinkering with this PONG project I have, I learned how to switch colors, more about RigidBodies and Colliders... what do you think I should tinker with next?

[fossil drum]

Perhaps Breakout? That's like PONG with extra features.
Unless you want to learn another genre.

[dense root]

I want to do breakout but I'm trying to avoid follow tutorials

I feel like I'm not learning just mimicing someone on a screen

[timber tide]

why would you need to follow a tutorial

make a bunch of blocks, if pong ball hits it then deactivate it

^ after your collide

[fossil drum]

Then add some health to some blocks that you need to hit more then once, then add some powerups, add some scoring/highscore, perhaps some UI, some levels. You can learn a lot by doing this.

[dense root]

Anyone know how to solve this weird physics issue in Unity where the ball randomly slows down?

Here's the settings

[keen dew]

Since it doesn't bounce realistically I assume you have some code that changes its direction on impact. The problem would be there.

[eternal needle]

That first bounce does look really weird as well, it suddenly gains a ton of speed

[keen dew]

and at a completely different angle

[dense root]

How do I destroy my brick object?

private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
{
    Destroy(this);
    Debug.Log("Hit Brick");
}

[eternal needle]

Do you know what "this" refers to?

[dense root]

private void OnTriggerEnter2D(Collider2D collision)
{
    Destroy(GetComponent<Rigidbody>());
    Debug.Log("Hit Brick");
}

The script

[eternal needle]

Yea pretty much the instance of the script. If you want the destroy the whole gameobject, you pass in the "gameObject"

Passing in a component will destroy only the component

[dense root]

Is there a more efficient way to have a box collider that triggers and bounces the ball without setting "shadow" box collider underneath it?

I tried making two BoxCollider2D under the same inspector window but that doesn't do the trick

[keen dew]

What's the problem you're having with just one normal collider?

[dense root]

It ghosts through the object since I need it to trigger

[keen dew]

Why do you need it to trigger?

[dense root]

OnTriggerEnter2D

[keen dew]

You do know there's OnCollisionEnter2D as well, right?

[median ruin]

How to fix? Is there a way to say which to always prioritize?

[keen dew]

Don't include the System.Numerics namespace

If you really need it (which I doubt) the last suggestion does what you asked

[median ruin]

thanks... can you disable auto imports?

[keen dew]

I'm sure there's a setting for it

[ruby python]

Morning all. I'm having a little trouble figuring out something.

I have this little hierarchy and I need to grab all of the ConnectionPoint objects and throw them into GameObject[] newConnectionPoints

There are multiple rooms that are getting spawned at start up using the same hierarchy so need to apply this to all of them as they spawn in.

Could someone point me in the right direction please? 🙂

🤣

[dense root]

Turns out I can add two colliders and have it work as intended

[keen dew]

I still don't understand why you would need that

[dense root]

One to trigger, one to bounce the ball back. Simple.

[keen dew]

But why do you need a separate trigger collider? Why not use the normal collider?

[dense root]

Wdym normal collider?

[keen dew]

I mean the collider that isn't a trigger

If you think that you need to use OnTriggerEnter2D, non-trigger colliders have an OnCollisionEnter2D event that works exactly the same way

[dense root]

Sigh have it your way lol

private void OnCollisionEnter2D(Collision2D collision)
{
    hitCounter++;

    SpriteRenderer m_SpriteRenderer;
    m_SpriteRenderer = GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>();

    if (hitCounter == 1)
    {
        m_SpriteRenderer.color = Color.blue;
    }

    if (hitCounter == 4)
    {
        Destroy(gameObject);
    }

    Debug.Log("Hit Brick");
}

This is definitely more elegant I suppose

my bad

[sonic remnant]

I'm facing a challenging issue in Unity where my constructable objects are incorrectly allowed to be placed through 'Tree' tagged objects, despite having collision detection logic in place. Here's a brief overview:

I have a script attached to my constructable objects to control their placement in the game world.
The script includes an OnTriggerEnter method intended to prevent these objects from being placed through other objects, particularly those tagged as "Tree" or "pickable".
Despite the logic, the constructable objects are still being placed through the 'Tree' objects. I'm using tags to differentiate between 'Ground', 'Tree', 'pickable', and 'ghost' objects.

https://gdl.space/emeqenusej.cs

[cosmic dagger]

The logic checks only when entering or exiting a trigger. If it remains within the trigger, there is no detection logic . . .

[ivory bobcat]

isOverlappingItems has two conditions for being false in exit

The second is likely occurring

You can work around this by possibly having a list of objects that you're overlapping with or checking on stay (there's a possibility that you'll be flagged not overlapping and be able to quickly place the object though with the second).

[topaz mortar]

I wanna check if my variable I'm getting from an API is a number, more specifically an int

Debug.Log(myDic["level"] is int); // returns false```
Is System.Int64 not an int? Any easy fix?

[gaunt ice]

int64 should be long

[ivory bobcat]

It isn't an Int32

[uncut holly]

what does it mean by a complier error?

[vast vessel]

Look on the bottom of your screen

The red text is an error

Click on the "console" tab to see the whole thing

You are missing a ";" at the end of a line in your code

@uncut holly

[halcyon summit]

Does anyone know how a class can reference a ScriptableObject defined in one of its sub-classes please?

[uncut holly]

ah looks like bad habits from python caught up again haha

[vast vessel]

Also, looking at your code, it looks like there is a space between debug.log and ("hello world")

[uncut holly]

hmmm i added the ; but it still give me complier error?

[uncut holly]

i already removed the spacing

this is what it looks like now

[vast vessel]

Read the fucking error for f's sake. Thats why the error even shows up in the console

[vast vessel]

Its Debug.Log not debug.log

Configure your IDE to do auto completion

VS has a unity option in its installer. You can install it if you have the exe file

!vs

[eternal falcon]

Visual Studio guide

If your IDE is not underlining errors in red or autocompleting code,
please configure it using the link below:

• Visual Studio (Installed via Unity Hub)
• Visual Studio (Installed manually)

[uncut holly]

yeah im looking to see if my IDE is installed now

[modest dust]

Spacing itself doesn't matter, but the casing is indeed wrong

[vast vessel]

Why would you do this

[modest dust]

Do remember that C# (and most other programming languages if not all, idk) are case sensitive, so keep in mind to check the correct casing for a class and it's method

[modest dust]

I wouldn't, but seeing people in pain is fun

[uncut holly]

is the Debug.Log suppose to change color?

cos the coding between the unity tutorial and mine is extremely different even though the wording is the same

[modest dust]

If you mean it as in the color of the text in your IDE, then yes

Classes, methods, fields, attributes, etc, all have their own color

All depends on your IDE and settings

[uncut holly]

ah i see now it can run, though the color of my text is the same

[patent compass]

hello, i keep getting this error CS1061: 'object' does not contain a definition for 'name' and no accessible extension method 'name' accepting a first argument of type 'object' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) in line.

doesnt object have a definition of name?

[modest dust]

Show the full context

Also object and Object are two different things

[nimble scaffold]

how to switch cameras only the duration of right click for my fps sniper cam

[patent compass]

        foreach (var child in root){
            clone.Find(child.name);

    }```

[modest dust]

var here defaults to System.Object

this type does not have a definition for "name"

Write the type you want explicitly

[patent compass]

ah. u were right, changed it to transform

thanks

[uncut holly]

i have a question for update, so assuming that we did not imput any codes to stop the program (at least from updating), it will just repeat the same message forever?

[modest dust]

Update() runs every frame

As long as the GameObject which this script is attached to is active (or the component/script itself is active) it will run every frame

[modest dust]

GetKeyDown => switch to sniper cam
GetKeyUp => switch to normal cam

[nimble scaffold]

ok

hey @modest dust i have used this method but in unity gamemode its not working

[modest dust]

Can't say much without seeing any code

wait then bro

[modest dust]

You have an y in between your if statements

[nimble scaffold]

sorry

removed

[fair gyro]

Nvm I fixed it changing to LateUpdate() 👍

[modest dust]

So, what's the issue you're having exactly

Errors / doesn't work as expected?

[nimble scaffold]

its not switching

[nimble scaffold]

no

[rare basin]

are the camera objects enablind/disabling when you press Y?

you know you have to hold Y in order for this to work

if you release immediately, it will switch to normal cam

[nimble scaffold]

the y was typo

oh that one

sorry

[modest dust]

You're using KeyCode.Y

[nimble scaffold]

too much y

sorry extremel sorry

[rare basin]

chill

[fair gyro]

lmao

[nimble scaffold]

Bro the code isn't working

i pressed Y

[rare basin]

put debug logs in there

see if it prints

as i said you need to hold Y in order of it to work

[gaunt ice]

try to hold down the y and see if the two camera enabled

[rare basin]

if you press once both methods gets triggered

[nimble scaffold]

i did exactly that

[fair gyro]

try this maybe? Input.GetMouseButtonDown(1)

[hexed terrace]

You toggle one cam on, then immeidately after toggle the other cam on.. you won't see it happen

[rare basin]

put debug logs in there

did you attach the script on actual game object?

[nimble scaffold]

ye

[rare basin]

well you have a lot of errors in the console

fix them first

[fair gyro]

u changed to a different Input system in ur game

[hexed terrace]

private void Update()
{
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Y)) { ToggleCameras(); }
}

private void ToggleCameras()
{
    normalCamera.enabled = !normalCamera.enabled;
    sniperCamera.enabled = !normalCamera.enabled;
}```

[fair gyro]

to use controller i guess

[nimble scaffold]

wdym sodio

[rare basin]

i assume you downloaded some project that is using new input system

[modest dust]

This will switch cameras on key down, not on hold

[rare basin]

and you made your own script using old input system

[hexed terrace]

ah missed that difference 🤦‍♂️

[nimble scaffold]

umm i doenloaded fps sample from unity hub

[rare basin]

and it's using new input system probably

any your code uses the old input system

also you have errors in your Gun script

[fair gyro]

u are using this in ur project

so the way of coding changes a bit

[nimble scaffold]

yes

[fair gyro]

search for tutorials or ask github copilot/ chatGPT about the new Input System

[modest dust]

I wouldn't suggest using gpt for learning purposes.

Especially to someone who is an absolute beginner

[rare basin]

chat gpt prints so many bullshit and bad practices

this is code related channel

[peak crescent]

ok

[nimble scaffold]

im using this thingies

guide me

[peak crescent]

👍 moved it

[fair gyro]

hes learning by himself tho, hes not studying in college I guess

[rare basin]

sure but why should he learn bad practices?

[fair gyro]

using AI is nice as long as u understand what are u coding, im not talking about Ctrl+c ctrl+v

[modest dust]

Even more of a reason to not learn from GPT, which can lead him in the wrong direction

[hexed terrace]

And beginners don't understand what they're doing

[rare basin]

I'd argue about that

talking to @fair gyro

[fair gyro]

where should he learn from then...?

[rare basin]

where did you learn from before AI storm?

[hexed terrace]

The plethora of non-AI related places?

[rare basin]

weird question

[modest dust]

Courses. Tutorials. Videos. As everyone should

[fair gyro]

I learned from researching a lot of tutorials, stack overflow threads...

[twin axle]

I'm in college rn and we're not going to be learning unity, I'm not in game development though :3
I have picked up unity 2 days ago and I'm tryna do somethin as a side project.
I want to make my dev portfolio a game that you can play, amd navigate a little city to see my accomplishments. Let the journey begin

[rare basin]

i personally only use chat-gpt to make math formulas or physics operations

[fair gyro]

learning from what other people do

[nimble scaffold]

guys im using thiss

[fair gyro]

exactly

If u are worried about "bad practices" just go to college lol

[twin axle]

My teachers are horrible T_T I think they use gpt lmao

[fair gyro]

Im ending computer engineering grade and we didnt learn unity neither

[nimble scaffold]

will anyone help me?? its totally damn new

[uncut holly]

im using unity cos my freind wants to build a card game and im interested in vid game dev

[twin axle]

Ah, yeah I'm in comp sci. I pretty much wanna make my portfolio like old school runescape type deal poi t and click with the same shitty graphics, that I find nostalgic. It's gonna be a whole endeavor.

[modest dust]

#🖱️┃input-system

[fair gyro]

cant help i never used the new inputsystem

[twin axle]

Sorry I'll let everyone else ask questions :p gl out there

[rare basin]

watch some guides on new input system, no one will teach you it here

[modest dust]

Good luck, make sure to go through some tutorials

Will make things easier

[uncut holly]

holy shit the frames are fast

i just finished a code that expand a sphere and even after i used 0.001 for all 3 xyz the sphere took up the whole screen in less than 3 seconds

[fair gyro]

i think u should use FixedUpdate() for physics calculations

because Update() uses ur framerate

[modest dust]

Yeah, that's why you usually want to use either Time or FixedUpdate

[uncut holly]

i think i will learn that in later chapters haha

[uncut holly]

lol i still working on programming essentials in unity haha

take things nice and slowly

[gaunt ice]

you should turn it to time based not frame based
ie extend the ball in rate of 1m/s not 1m/many frames
you will learn it someday

[nimble scaffold]

im feeling to do suicide

[modest dust]

True, rushing through things is never a good idea

[uncut holly]

leant that the painful way (ended up in hospital)

welp its not me but my brother who i share a body with but damm that hurt

[fair gyro]

@uncut holly do u make music too

[uncut holly]

im a pianist why?

[fair gyro]

i was just curious

[modest dust]

Well, that escalated quickly

[uncut holly]

im working on an piano ost

[fair gyro]

sick!!

I do background music sometimes too

[hexed terrace]

keep it on topic

[uncut holly]

lol sometime i take inspiration from cardfight vanguard sometimes

[uncut holly]

yes boss

[modest dust]

*Instant friend request*

[modest dust]

Yes chief, sorry

[solid jasper]

is instantiating c# objects within a monobehaviour good practice? i.e. Dog dog = new Dog()
I don't know what to look for in the profiler to tell me whether this would have an impact or not, also the profiler seems to run "too fast".

[static cedar]

For clarification, does Dog inherit Monobehaviour?

[solid jasper]

Sorry edited post to remove double negative

Dog being just a regular csharp class not inheriting from anythign

[static cedar]

Ah, so you just mean literally make new objects in a method of a monobehaviour class.

[solid jasper]

yeah

[gaunt ice]

sometimes you must do that

[static cedar]

I don't see anything inherently bad with that. Doing it in Update is an obvious no-brainer.

Or FixedUpdate.

[solid jasper]

I see. So for context, I've been learning some design patterns with C# and tried implementing the Strategy pattern in Unity. Most examples don't use Monobehaviour so I've been trying to get my head around how I could use it.

[gaunt ice]

whether the class is monobehaviour or not has nothing to do with strategy pattern

[wintry quarry]

MonoBehaviour is kinda just your entry point into running code. Once you have code running you can pretty much do what you want

[solid jasper]

I get that, but it seems that the more I try to use just regular c# the more i move away from using the editor and inspector. I mean, yeah that makes sense, but it's messing with my head >.<

[wintry quarry]

You're overthinking it

[solid jasper]

You're right, I am

[timber tide]

imagine trying to construct prefabs in code

[gaunt ice]

you can even have a static class:

public static class Solution{
  public static result Solve(data){
    if(data is A){run A algorithm}
    else if(data is B){B algorithm}
    ...
  }
}

[timber tide]

So basically this pattern is how-to interface/pointers

I'm bad at reading these diagrams. They all remind me of creating data bases and that scares me

[static cedar]

Brackets not necessary if you inline them.

[slender path]

does anyone know how to make destructible terrain?

[wary sigil]

hi wanted to save a text i input into a field to a json file The input and realted variable does work but i have some problems regarding the saving part, can anyone help?

[rich adder]

what problem?

[wary sigil]

the save file does not contain the text saved in inputText

[ruby python]

Af'noon all. Okay, so I'm building myself a simple map generator and I'm running into an issue where new 'rooms' are being placed 'over' ones that are already placed. I know why it's happening, and what I need to do to 'fix' it, but not sure on the how. What I think I need to do is run a check on whether the new room is 'inside' the old room and if so, remove it, but I want to keep everything inside this one script if possible. Just not sure how to implement it from here. 😕 Could anyone help out please?

https://pastebin.com/hTPMcsMw

[rich adder]

does Debug.Log print the Character correctly

[wary sigil]

no

[rich adder]

characterCreation is probably blank

empty

how do you call InputName

[wary sigil]

but in the Debug.Log in InputName it says the correct thing

[rich adder]

n how do you call FinishCharacterCreation?

[wary sigil]

using a button and On click event

[gaunt ice]

for (int i = 0; i < iterations; i++){
    connectionPoints = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("ConnectionPoint");
    foreach (GameObject connectionPoint in connectionPoints){
      GameObject newRoom=Instantiate(roomPrefabs[Random.Range(0,roomPrefabs.Length)],connectionPoint.transform.position,connectionPoint.transform.rotation);
      Destroy(connectionPoint.gameObject);
    }
}
```all connection points will be found in first iteration, meaningless to have several iteration unless some roomPrefab comes with connection point, and point back to some directions that having room on it

[ruby python]

Each prefab that gets instantiated has it's own connection points.

[gaunt ice]

oh, it is not destroy immediate

[wary sigil]

found another way it works i just added the part from FinishCharacterCreation to InputName

[ruby python]

so more are created each iteration.

[gaunt ice]

same set of connection points will still be found in next iteration, then prefab overlaps each others

[ruby python]

huh? But they're being dstroyed before the next iteration.

[gaunt ice]

you can try to log the connection points instance id to see if my point is correct
all destroy call will be queried until end of this frame, unless you call destroy immediate

[rich adder]

ehh thats a band aid lol

[wary sigil]

ik but i somehow have to get it to work

already stared at that problem for three houres

[neon ivy]

I'm working on dialogue choices using Ink. when dialogue has choices I instantiate choice buttons and do:

choiceObj.GetComponent<Button>().onClick.AddListener(() => MakeChoice(choiceIndex));
``` to add the on click event to them. this is resulting in a `Exception: choice out of range` error and when I hover the buttons it says the On Click events are empty. does anyone know what's going on?

[gaunt ice]

commo mistakes (and trap)

you have to cache the choiceIndex to local variable

[rich adder]

yeah, maybe you were saving before text was actually changed. at least it works now then 👍

[ruby python]

All the connection points are being removed as intended.

[neon ivy]

I did that instead of i from the for loop. I did choiceIndex = i

[ruby python]

(Disabled one are disabled in the prefab and never referenced)

[neon ivy]

do I need to do choiceIndex = new int(i)?

[rich adder]

wouldnt it be better if your button was a custom class that has those methods to sub to its own button ?

instead of doing this contraption and getcomponent

[neon ivy]

no clue, following a tutorial but it has a max amount of buttons which I didn't like so I just instantiate them into a vertical layout group

[rich adder]

its not that diffcult mate

creating a class should've been first thing you learned lol

[neon ivy]

I mean sure it could work but I don't know if it's better is what I mean

[rich adder]

I think so 🤷‍♂️

[gaunt ice]

i have thought if this is possible:

struct somename{
  int idx;
  theMonobehaviour instance;
  public subscribe_this(){
    instance.method(idx);
  }
}
then
for(int i=0;i<number;i++){
  create a new somename struct and store it somewhere
  button[i].onclick.addlistener(somename.subscribe_this);
}
```i just take out the compiler's work, but i havent tested it.

[neon ivy]

private void DisplayChoices()
    {
        foreach(GameObject choice in choiceList)
        {
            choiceList.Remove(choice);
            Destroy(choice);
        }
        List<Choice> choices = currentStory.currentChoices;
        for (int i = 0; i < choices.Count; i++)
        {
            int choiceIndex = i;
            GameObject choiceObj = Instantiate(choicePrefab,choiceHolder.transform);
            choiceObj.GetComponentInChildren<TextMeshProUGUI>().text = choices[i].text;
            choiceObj.GetComponent<Button>().onClick.AddListener(() => MakeChoice(choiceIndex));
            choiceList.Add(choiceObj);
        }
        if(choiceList.Count > 0)
        {
            StartCoroutine(SelectFirstChoice(choiceList[0]));
        }
        
    }

    public void MakeChoice(int index)
    {
        currentStory.ChooseChoiceIndex(index);
    }

this is the entire code that gets called when the next dialogue gets called

[rich adder]

yeah that is ugly af

GameObject is a useless class type

this can be hadled with 1 Init() method in a custom button class

[neon ivy]

yea I have no idea what you mean by that :I

[rich adder]

example if you spawned choiceObj as its own thing ChoiceObject choiceObj = Instantiate(...) ; choiceObj.Init(index, text, somethingelse)

then make custom Action event, for button so you only keep a list of active buttons

[neon ivy]

all that just because AddListener is being annoying?

[ruby python]

Okay now I'm confused. Just went through all of my instantiated prefabs, and at some point during the loop(s), the connectionPoints stop being destroyed 😕

[rich adder]

idk I just never used anonymous function like that with unity events

i stick to c# ones 😅

[ruby python]

??? 😕

[rich adder]

how I would do it

public class ButtonDialogue : MonoBehaviour
{
    [SerializeField] private Button button;
    [SerializeField] private TMP_Text txt;
    private int index;

    public Action<int> OnButtonPressed;
    public void Init(string text, int index){
        this.index = index;
        txt.text = text;
    }
    private void OnEnable() => button.onClick.AddListener(OnPressed);
    public void OnPressed() => OnButtonPressed?.Invoke(index);
}```

[neon ivy]

ah like a constructor

[novel shoal]

https://paste.ofcode.org/nU5mwev9hTsUGTf8CRHqWf
it doesn't delete both objects, it doesn't write on the console the debug.log line either

[rich adder]

ButtonDialogue choiceObj = Instantiate(choicePrefab,choiceHolder.transform);
choiceObj.Init(...)
choiceObj.OnButtonPressed += MakeChoice;
currentChoices.Add(choiceObj);```
maybe you can keep track also in a list for deletion / usubscribe
`List<ButtonDialogue> currentChoices = new();`

[novel shoal]

every object has collider and the "is trigger" option checked

[ruby python]

@novel shoal switch the order of your destroy statements. You're killing the current object before it can destroy the other one.

[gaunt ice]

how about rigidbody

[ruby python]

Destroy(gameObject) should be last.

[novel shoal]

okk

[ruby python]

Putting it first means that you're removing the script before anything after it can be ran, so those lines no longer exist.

[novel shoal]

still not working

[gaunt ice]

do one of them have a rigidbody on it?

[novel shoal]

the "other" gameobject passes through the gameobject

[novel shoal]

nope

[rich adder]

2d or 3D?

[ruby python]

One of them HAS to have a rigidBody for physics to work.

[neon ivy]

I'll try this, thanks

[gaunt ice]

they need a rigidbody.....

[novel shoal]

isn't rigidbody used for physics stuff?

[rich adder]

no rigidbody = no events

[novel shoal]

i am not using physics

[rich adder]

that event is a physics event..

[ruby python]

Doesn't matter.

[novel shoal]

okk

[rich adder]

OnTriggerEnter is a physics callback

Colliders are physics

Triggers are physics

[gaunt ice]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Collider.OnTriggerEnter.html

Note: Both GameObjects must contain a Collider component. One must have Collider.isTrigger enabled, and contain a Rigidbody. If both GameObjects have Collider.isTrigger enabled, no collision happens. The same applies when both GameObjects do not have a Rigidbody component.

[novel shoal]

so which object should have the "is trigger" option enabled?

[ruby python]

the 'other' object

[gaunt ice]

either one or both, up to your choice

[rich adder]

the one that needs no collision

[novel shoal]

now it works, thanks :)

i am doing the junior programmer pathway unit 2 btw

[ruby python]

Okay, this is really really confusing.

I don't understand why my 'Destroy(connectionPoint.gameObject)' stops working partway through the room Instantiating loop. It's not at a fixed point either, if I increase the iterations it stops working further and further down the line 😕

https://pastebin.com/2vqHRt3f

[neon ivy]

starting to think it's an issue with Ink. still the same error

[gaunt ice]

this

[neon ivy]

wait nvm. I'm dumb. there's a known issue in the comments...

[ruby python]

Sorry, not following what you mean.

[gaunt ice]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ExecutionOrder.html

[amber spruce]

is there a way to do smth when a object goes to a new scene (i have dontdestroyonload for them)

[gaunt ice]

oh previous page tells you nothing
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.Destroy.html

[rich adder]

ohh then must be that then. Still. its good practice to do this way imo

[rich adder]

ofc there is

[amber spruce]

how?

[ruby python]

Yeah, tbh that got me even more confused. lol.

[rich adder]

subscribe to the scene change event

[amber spruce]

can i check if the new scene is a specific scene

[rich adder]

ofc

[amber spruce]

so when scene A is loaded do this

[rich adder]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/SceneManagement.SceneManager-activeSceneChanged.html

[gaunt ice]

in short
destroy a gameobject will not destroy it immediately

[ruby python]

Yeah, but I don't see why my code stops destroying the connection points, I've tried DestroyImmediate too and still the same thing.

the implementation is literally in the example

[ruby python]

See this, makes perfect sense to me, find connectionPoint, spawnRoom, destroy connectionpoint, move on to next connection point. When finished all connection points found in the previous iteration of the forLoop, move on to the next iteration, rinse repeat.

What I don't understand is why it stops destroying the connectionPoints but keeps instantiating rooms.

for (int i = 0; i < iterations; i++)
        {
            connectionPoints = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("ConnectionPoint");

            foreach (GameObject connectionPoint in connectionPoints)
            {
                GameObject newRoom = Instantiate(roomPrefabs[Random.Range(0, roomPrefabs.Length)], connectionPoint.transform.position, connectionPoint.transform.rotation);
                //Debug.Log(connectionPoint.transform.name);
                DestroyImmediate(connectionPoint.gameObject);
            }
        }

what part of that whole script does what im trying to do?

[wintry quarry]

https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Object.DestroyImmediate.html

This function should only be used when writing editor code since the delayed destruction will never be invoked in edit mode. In game code you should use Object.Destroy instead.

Also note that you should never iterate through arrays and destroy the elements you are iterating over. This will cause serious problems (as a general programming practice, not just in Unity).

[gaunt ice]

suppose you have two prefab
Ac and c where c is the connection points
B
the A and B were spwaned as:
Ac
B
now two c (connection points) overlap

[ruby python]

If it stopped at the same point no matter how many iterations I enter into the 'iterations' variable, I could understand it, but it stops further and further down the line the higher the iteration count.

while (reader.Read())
{
    myDic.Add("level", (int) reader.GetValue(1));```
Is there a way to provide the name of the column instead of 1?

from this image, the newly created object seems that not checking the neighbor rooms

[ruby python]

Yeah, I've tried both Destroy and DestroyImmediate, having the same issue. And yeah I know about the other thing, tbh I'm just testing/trying the concept 'verbosely' if that makes sense so I can understand the sequence of events. Will refactor/tidy it up when it's working (I learn best that way)

[ruby python]

Well no, that was the original question tbh.

[gaunt ice]

you have to check it just as what i said, the connection points may overlaps

[wintry quarry]

Yeah the whole approach is problematic

[rich adder]

wdym man its really obvious what the script does, what are you confused on ?

[wintry quarry]

don't use FindWithTag
don't destroy things in a list you're iterating over.

If your IDE is not underlining errors in red or autocompleting code,
please configure it using the link below:

[rich adder]

if you're confused on the code I suggest you at least study up on what an event is @amber spruce

especially if you are needing one

[topaz mortar]

don't think so?
I'm currently doing this: myDic.Add("level", (int) reader.GetValue(1));
But I want to be doing: myDic.Add("level", (int) reader.GetValue("level"));
So I'm always sure the right column goes to the right value

[ruby python]

This is so annoying. lol. Literally nothing I've found online does what I want.

[wintry quarry]

Oh i thought you wanted to GET the name

use https://dev.mysql.com/doc/dev/connector-net/latest/api/data_api/MySql.Data.MySqlClient.MySqlDataReader.html#MySql_Data_MySqlClient_MySqlDataReader_GetOrdinal_System_String_

[gaunt ice]

actually you can consider this:

Queue<Coonection point>
for iteration{
  int count=q.count;
  while(count>0){
    dequeue the connection point, spawn the prefab on it, then get all the connection points on that prefab and enqueue them
    count--;
  }
}

[rich adder]

you mean online code wasnt specifically tailored for you, shoker

[polar acorn]

Instead of using Finds and spawning things as GameObjects, make your prefab of a script type that has a reference to its own connection points. Spawn the room, add that room's connection points to a list, and iterate over that list.

[buoyant knot]

i sometimes iterate backwards through a list by index, and delete some entries by index.

[gaunt ice]

and you need to check if some very close connection point has already enqueued

[rich adder]

not in a foreach you cannot anyway
